Bakker Bugle Blog Say it three times fast. In Luxembourgish.

Faster than you can say “it’s time already?” the B.B. Blog is recognizing the latest commenter of the week. This week’s winner is Sharon (not to be confused with sharon), who wins the prize for her excellent response when realizing she placed second in the prior week’s contest. It’s that kind of positive attitude the B.B. Blog likes to recognize.

As winner, Sharon will be expected to talk up the B.B. Blog, encourage others to post comments, use canvas bags when she gets groceries and generally be a positive influence in the world. We are confident she is up to the task.

Congratulations Sharon!

Today we begin a new tradition for the Bakker Bugle, presenting for the first time, the Commenter of the Week award. It is especially fitting that we initiate it soon after the launch of the full BakkerBugle.com website.

Dave is the winner of this week’s award, in large part due to his proposal to follow the Irish government’s lead in creating bank holidays. Dave has been a faithful commenter for some weeks, but his comment of August 2nd is worthy of special praise. Especially notable is his long-standing commitment to the MLK holiday. This is a commenter who stands by his principles.

The Bakker Bugle Awards Committee must give an honourable mention to sharon. Her comment of August 3rd displayed the kind of fawning flattery that appeals to all the Committee members.

We expect great things of sharon and Dave in the future. They began the Commenter of the Week tradition with distinction and quality.
